Present: Anders, Aleksandr, Maiken, Mattias, David, Oxana

== News

Anders worked on Archery, have the basic stuff ready, Ukraine is delegated to Andrii. Petter is working on updating DNS structure, and when it is done, can do hosting for others. 

Danish securty people don't like rsync port open on the download server. Nobody knows why is it open. Decision: close it.

Nightlies broke for older platforms tonight, Maiken sees the same issue, seems to be triggered by a recent merge request.

A problem: nightlies are named after the date of the last commit, not the build date. An alternative is to add a commit ID of sorts, but it will not help in case dependencies will change. Final decision: "version" will be the build date, as it always used to be.
 

== ARC6 release repository

Anders knows how to do everything, agreed with Maiken, so only needs to be done. Everything is in place, only checking out needs to be done, and submission. The worst estimate for the readiness is Monday. Petter, Christian and Martin can step in, Anders will propose a name.

== ARC6 release

Dima runs a "before-Umeaa" tag and it makes the server freezing, apparently due to a deadlock. Needs to be investigated what triggers it. Otherwise it might make little sense announcing the broken tag. Unclear if there is a need for ARC6 meeting on Wednesday, probably not. Mattias fixed the OpenSSL 1.1.1 issue, this even applies to ARC5 on Fedora 29 and 30, submitted as a packaging patch in Fedora and Debian.

== Bugs

Not much to discuss. #3772 is not yet addressed, but is not a blocker. Aleksandr can take it.

== Ganglia

(see also the very recent Gitlab issue #49 https://source.coderefinery.org/nordugrid/arc/issues/49 )

gangliarc will be definitely replaced by arex-ganglia, once all the necessary metrics are added/implemented (gangliarc doesn't work with ARC6 anyway). Maiken knows how to proceed. 

== AOB

Digest is OK to send.
